A dedicated haem lyase is required for the maturation of a novel bacterial cytochrome c with unconventional covalent haem binding [PDF]
, 2007 In bacterial c-type cytochromes, the haem cofactor is covalently attached via two cysteine residues organized in a haem c-binding motif. Here, a novel octa-haem c protein, MccA, is described that contains only seven conventional haem c-binding motifs ...

Fragmentation of protonated ions of peptides containing cysteine, cysteine sulfinic acid, and cysteine sulfonic acid [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2004 The oxidation of the sulfhydryl group in cysteine to sulfenic acid, sulfinic acid, and sulfonic acid in proteins is important in a number of enzymatic processes. In this study we examined the fragmentation of four peptides containing cysteine, cysteine sulfinic acid (Cys-SO(2)H), and cysteine sulfonic acid (Cys-SO(3)H) in an ion-trap mass spectrometer.
